We are delighted to announce the launch of Series Two of our PEACEPLUS ASPIRE Talks podcast!

This series, created in partnership with EATV, explores inspiring stories from Shared Education, featuring educators, pupils, and coordinators who champion pupil voice, inclusion, and meaningful participation. Building on the themes from season one, this series now includes enhanced pupil voice across our partnership episodes and interviews with education experts.

Our latest episode features Vera Shanahan from Educate Together. Vera shares her expertise on the child centred ethos of Educate Together schools and the Learn Together curriculum. Throughout the episode, she also explores the opportunities and challenges of school partnerships and the importance of community involvement in equality-based education.

This episode showcases the meaningful work taking place across PEACEPLUS ASPIRE and the positive impact equality‑based education will have on shaping Ireland’s educational landscape over the next decade. You can expect engaging interviews, real-life examples, and practical strategies for creating inclusive environments where every child and young person’s perspective is valued!
